Spending money on repairs might seem like you are just spending your profits, but there are many reasons to do maintenance and repairs promptly.

• Small problems can turn into big problems quickly if not repaired (such as a leak).
• Taking care of these kinds of repairs promptly will encourage tenants to let you know when something needs attention.
• Tenants will stay longer if things work properly and they feel like you are providing value for their rental dollar.
• Being truly negligent about repairs opens you to lawsuits if a tenant suffers injuries or to vacancies if they leave unexpectedly.
• Taking care of repairs also protects your investment and the value of your property.
